Everyone can lead in some way to some degree in a given situation at some time.
All leaders are not the same. Leadership styles, personalities and traits vary greatly.
No one way of leading is better than another. Each leader is talented in a different way.
Effective leaderships depends on context. Matching the right leader to a particular situation is the most important.
Effective organizations need all types of leaders. Different leaders positioned strategically throughout a school or district can contribute greatly to organizational effectiveness.
